a fly on the window: Last Day in Ireland

Our last day in Ireland! The boys left bright and early for Balllybunion and had a very large time (only 11 balls lost today!). The young boys all agreed that it was the best course they have ever played, and Big Papa said it was in his top 5. Mom and Erica didn't have as early a start and headed to Bunratty Castle which was about an hour away. After visiting the castle we had lunch at Durty Nelly's, advertised as the oldest pub in Ireland. After lunch, shopping at the Blarney Woolen Mills - :) When the girls returned to Doonbeg, we indulged in a massage and a facial at the Spa - truly lovely (as they would say in Ireland!). The boys and the girls met at Tubridy's in Doonbeg for dinner and had a delightful dinner. The singing by a female patron in the pub following dinner was especially entertaining. Back to the cottage and packing up to leave at 5:00 am for England. Thanks Ireland for the great hospitality!!
